The Lake and Ice project promises
to be good thing in many respects, for
the city. The young are to have an ex-
cellent place for amusement, summer
and winter, fish are to be raised, and a
crop Of ice, good and solid, during the
winter. Inquiries are being made from
other portions Of the state as to the
success of Mr.. Arnold's project; the
State Fish Commission are interested in
results and ask for a report. It may be
the means in helping to call greater
attention throughout the state to the
profit there is in fish culture. II so, it
will be of general benefit, for Nebraska
streams and artificial ponds, we'll stocked
with fish, means considerable towards
the general welfare.

SILVER BELLS.

Written for the JOURNAL
SILVER BELLS.
Strong and true are the hands to-day
Ringing the bells swung to and fro,
But let me sing in my humble way
A song from the bells of long ago;
A trembling song rung down the years
Sweeping past in their might and pride,
And sweet yet sad with the hopes and fears
OF bOyish groom and maiden bride.
welcome song sang the silver bells
When q wedding march was its jubilee
How the years are gone, but the echo tells
OF the whispered VOWS and cOnstancy,
And Father Time that autumn day
Paused but to praise your golden hair
And hurried by in his busy way
With only touch Of his foot print there.
Oh! silver bells in your changing tone
Scarcely q SORROW ye bring to me,
While many have wept their weary moan
Like rain ON their fourth of a century.
Our wedding bells with the sun O'erhead
And the balm of Truth like an angel grace
Sing of the years with love made glad
And q rose a-blOOm in q Queenly face.
Sweet babes are ours, and their merry glee
And the starry eyes and rosy lips,
With the first bright suns of a century
Have left the world in a cold eclipse.
Glad friends may come, oh! silver bells
With laden hands that we all shall ken,
While love brings but heart that tells
Its only gift to a silver pen.

THE OMAHA WEEKLY BEE.

| A AagniAcent Selection Of Premiums to be
I Awarded to STANDARDIZATION the Pub
lishers Of the Bee Distribute Large Nun
ber Of Valuable Premiums Among Their
Patrons.
The publishers of the Bee are this season Offer
ing its patrons the largest and most valuable list
OF premiums that has ever been awarded bythem.
For the past seven years the Bee has annually
distributed among its patrons large number OF
valuable and useful articles. increasing the num-
her and value each year as the number Of sub
scribers increased. This system was first inau9-
urated BY the publishers about eight:years ago ~
the means Of collecting back pay, securing
renewals and increasing the circulation of the
bee. In this it proved q success. Several thou
sand dollars back dues were collected which
would otherwise have been almost entirely lost
or expended in enforcing collections through
agents or attorneys. and the subscription list was
increased from 500 to s. 900 in seven years.
Each successive year a larger number Of sub
scribers was secured and the list of premiums
was proportionally increased.
During the first year only small portion OF
the articles distributed were procured in ex-
change for advertising. When the marked in
crease in the circulation became known to the
merchants and manufacturers. they willingly
offered their goods and machinery in exchange
for advertising. In this manner q very valuable
selection OF premiums was secured, with a COM
parative small outlay OF cash. Almost all the
more valuable articles are obtained IN this way.
Nearly the only outlay in cash made is for the
minor premiums, such as books. cutlery. etc.
These are purchased at the very lowest Wholesale
rates IN very large quantities. In this way IT is
made possible to award such magnificent lot Of
premiums to subscribers. and send each the
PAPER for one year for the price of two dollars.
The following is a partial list OF the articles to

Temperance.

NASHVILLE, November 16.-Miss
Francis Willard, president of the Ma
tional Women's Christian Temperance
Union, in her annual address, said to
the convention of that organization to
day, there are not enough anti-saloon
Republicans at the north to carry pro-
hlblIlon in single State that is now
struggling to secure it; nor. enough
anti-saloon Democrats at the south
as has been proved in this memorable
year of our constitutional defeats: but
there are enough temperance men in
both to take possession of government
and give US national prohibition in the
party of the near future, which is to be
the party of God. She believed the pro-
hibition party should strongly state as
Its ultimate aim two amendments to
the National Constitution; the first cal
ling for universal prohibition the
second enfranchising the women. She
advocates equal wages, as well as equal
moral standards for women and men;
heavier penalties for crimes against
women, and the raising of the age of
protection to Is years. Miss Willard
noted with satisfaction the triumph OF
the better element in the Knights of
Labor over the Anarchists and Social
lists; the growing influence of Powderly
and the fearlessness of his utterauces
and Letchman's concerning temperance.

The French Scandal,

PARIS, November 16.-The state of
affairs produced about the sale of Legion
of Honor decorations is increasingly
disquieting and confusing. President
Grevy's son-in-law, Wilson, appeared
before the examining magistrate to- day.
He insisted that the letters produced at
the Csfarel trial, and which it was
claimed were antedated, were actually
written in 1884. An expert was called,
who declared the letters were written
recently. The manufacturers of the
paper on which the letters were written
swore that THE paper was not woven
until 1885. The magistrate summoned
Wilson'S secretary, who wrote the dis
puted letter.
